A pipe doesn't have to be collapsed to need attention. Cracks, offset joints, and small breaks all let water escape and soil intrude, and left alone they get worse. Trenchless pipe repair targets that specific damage, point repair or short-section lining, without the full dig a traditional fix would require.

Lebanon Sewer Pros runs a camera first so you see exactly what's wrong before any decision gets made. On the older lateral lines common around Lebanon's historic downtown, that step catches hairline cracks and shifted joints before they turn into a backup at 10pm.

What's included

What's Included with Trenchless Pipe Repair

Typically included: camera diagnosis, access point setup, repair execution matched to the damage found, final verification scan.

Optional: root clearing if roots are found alongside the damage, follow-up lining if a repaired section shows signs of wider deterioration.

Customer prep: clear access to the cleanout or crawlspace, and note any recent slow drains or odors so the technician knows where to focus.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Trenchless Pipe Repair

Point repairs call for different materials than a full liner run, matched to the size and type of the damage found.

  • Localized Liner Patches photo

    Localized Liner Patches

    Small patch liners reinforce specific damaged sections without lining the entire pipe, useful on shorter clay runs found under older Lebanon lots.

  • Resin Injection Kits photo

    Resin Injection Kits

    Injectable resin fills cracks and gaps for a durable, long-lasting seal without disturbing the surrounding soil.

  • Pipe Realignment Tools photo

    Pipe Realignment Tools

    Specialized tools correct minor pipe offsets and misalignments, common where ground settling has shifted a joint.

  • Access Point Hardware photo

    Access Point Hardware

    Compact hardware creates entry points for trenchless repair equipment with minimal yard disruption.

  • Flexible Coupling Sleeves photo

    Flexible Coupling Sleeves

    Sleeves bridge gaps between pipe sections to restore continuous flow where a section has separated.

  • Curing Accelerants photo

    Curing Accelerants

    Accelerant additives speed up resin hardening so the line is back in service faster.

FAQs

Trenchless Pipe Repair FAQs

How much does trenchless pipe repair cost in Lebanon?

Point repairs typically run less than a full liner or bursting job since the damage is localized. Exact pricing depends on depth, access, and the repair method chosen, confirmed after the camera inspection.

How long does the repair take?

Most point repairs finish in a single visit, from diagnosis through cure time and verification.

Is this different from CIPP lining?

Yes. Trenchless pipe repair targets a specific damaged section, while CIPP lining typically resurfaces a longer run of pipe.

Will I need a permit?

Usually not for a repair confined to your private lateral. If the fix reaches the main connection, a permit is more likely required.

Can this fix a collapsed section?

No. A fully collapsed pipe needs pipe bursting or replacement, not a point repair.

Is DIY repair realistic?

Diagnosing the issue with a rental camera is doable. The actual repair, lining or coupling work with proper curing, requires trained equipment most homeowners don't own.

What happens if the repair doesn't hold?

A follow-up camera pass during the same visit confirms the repair before the crew leaves, so issues get caught immediately rather than after the fact.
